If I was making this post a few years back, I would certainly be leaning towards the House Hacking method, but I don't think she'd go for living in a duplex/triplex with other tenants, and considering we have two Australian Shepherds.Anyway, this is where my head is at for our first strategy: Buying our first live-in home as a fixer-upper and kinda/sorta implementing the BRRRR strategy.

Does anyone know a lender that would take an Australian mortgage to 95% plus LMI so that the $330k property can retain a $313k mortgage so all debts get sorted into one monthly interest only repayment that the rent would cover.

Budget for dropping occupancy, it's going to happen...Your competition for these properties are the Chinese, Australians who just want their cash out of their country where cash flow is frosting.

I am using an Australian Group but they are very expensive.can one tax consultant handle all those properties in different areas?

I am an Australian investor taking an interest in Central Florida real estate.

Most Australian TK marketers will not sell a home anymore unless the tenant is already in and they can review the lease and get an inspection.

We haven't to date experienced any competition from foreign investors when purchasing.We do tend to by very run down properties that need whole teams in place to be able to turn them around.Most foreign investors are only interested in turn key.I must say tho that a few fellow Australian investors have tried buying wholesale and doing the work themselves from overseas.I am sure you can imagine it didn't turn out to good for them :(Thanks and have a great day.

Paradise for pennies, and a number are US (American Samoa), British or Australian possessions.

I have them translated into every modern language with offers queued up, but haven't had the time to test and optimize them yet...this part does take time, effort, and focus.

The East and West coast markets are very similar to the Australian market.
